To calculate the tax base for an area, the number of dwellings in each council tax band is adjusted to take account of any discounts, premiums or exemptions. The resulting figure for each band is then multiplied by its proportion relative to Band D and the total across all eight bands is calculated. The tax base is used to determine the level of council tax an authority charges each dwelling.
